I have heard of deifying ions.

By the way - Alanis Morrisette really needs a dictionary. Black flies in pink chardonnay is not irony. Meeting the man of your dreams and then his beautiful wife, is not ironic. However, meeting the girl of your dreams and then her beautiful wife, THAT is irony. She should give me a call...

What the heck does "remastered" mean, in terms of comics?

It can pretty much mean the same as when Lucas released remastered versions of Star Wars.

It means that the art, color, lettering, and other facets of the comic have been retouched using modern technology to give the illusion that it was produced today.

The idea of 'illusion' when you put it in context with 'produced today' suggests deception, and I don't think VEI are trying to deceive anyone. It might be better to say a 'more modern appearance' or words to that effect.

I guess we'll just have to wait until August 29th and see what they have in mind.

As long as they don't make it all backwards by adding new scenes that totally suck, I'll be cool with it.

Well... I have to say I'm really excited about this! I had given up on the idea of Valiant coming back, but it looks like it's here. I asked my LCS about it today and they didn't even know what I was talking about, so hopefully they'll pay more attention to it now.

I'd like to see the new story released as a stand-alone or later on as part of something else. I'd probably only buy this if it was available at a reduced price on Amazon, but I'm glad this is coming out and Valiant is coming back.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, at least if capes are involved.

I doubt if Amazon can beat this price.

Probably depends on if your're getting something else with it for free shipping on Amazon (most $25 orders get free shipping that I've done on there) .

With shipping the HC is $19.67 from that site (so you're really only saving 5 bucks and change from buying it full price at your LCS).
